Hose End Sprayer

[Jeff and Cheryl]

The hose end sprayer attached to the Head has started leaking around the spray nozzle. I recall (I think) reading somewhere on this forum about replacing the valve in the hose. However, I've done a couple of searches and have not found it. I'd prefer to fix the one I have to replacing the entire hose. Any suggestions/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can use a standard sprayer (for kitchen sink faucet) from Home Dumpy and get a better quality. It comes only with hose and IIRC is about $6.

I agree with takepride. We have had several heads fail and I even sent them back to the company (Sealand?) so they could analyze why they failed so quickly. Got one free sprayer (which lasted about 2 months) and never got another response. Went to Home Depot and got a replacement. It's lasted a year so far.

A hint: When you attach the hose to the connection, boil some water on the stove and let the end sit in it for a minute or two. That softens it up and makes it a LOT easier to attach and clamp on.
